Terminal City Rollergirls

Are you ready? The Terminal City Rollergirls sure are! On May 4, we are pleased to bring you our second doubleheader event of Season 7: May the Fourth (Be With You). Get ready for some more edge-of-your-seat roller derby, folks!

In the first bout of the night, the Riot Girls face off against Season 6 champs, the Faster Pussycats. The fast and nimble Pussycats have been sharpening their claws and working hard on their defensive walls. They come fresh off a win against the Bad Reputations in the Season Opener. But according to Riot Girl rookie Smackin'em, "the Soldiers of Awesome are ready to bring the riot!” Will the stealthy skaters in cammo be able to stop the sharp-clawed kittens in their tracks? We'll soon find out.

The second match of the night features the skaters with bling, Public Frenemy, up against the Bad Reputations. Public Frenemy has been training hard, and with a line up of seasoned jammers and promising rookies, they are going to be a tough one to beat. But the Bad Reps have a few tricks up their sleeves: with punishing blockers and agile jammers like Diva LaRevolution and Traumatic Acid, the team in teal will be hard to hold down. Who will reign triumphant in this battle on the flat track? It's anyone's guess.

In addition to fast-paced, competitive roller derby, this bout will feature the East Van Bike Polo League as halftime entertainment. As always, there will be a DJ spinning beats and a beer garden upstairs.All this roller derby action goes down on Saturday, May 4 at Minoru Arena (7551 Minoru Gate) in Richmond. It's easy to get there: just ride the Canada Line SkyTrain to Richmond-Brighouse Station. Doors open at 5 p.m. and the first whistle blows at 6 p.m. Be there early for the best seats!
